(Jim Rogash/Getty Images)It's just not a Patriots game anymore without an unusual penalty call. Last week, New England lost in overtime after being the first team flagged for "pushing" while defending a field goal. Sunday, an illegal batting penalty on the Dolphins helped the Patriots sustain a drive that eventually ended with a key touchdown in a 27-17 win.After trailing 17-3 at halftime, the Patriots ripped off 17 consecutive points and were driving for another score when Tom Brady was sacked by Jimmy Wilson and fumbled. Amid the ensuing scramble, Miami's Olivier Vernon drew the batting penalty when he knocked the ball from tackle Marcus Cannon.New England's Nate Solder recovered the football, back at the Miami 45. Without the penalty, the Patriots would have faced a 3rd-and-29; with it, they were given a first down at the 13. Stevan Ridley scored four plays later to bump the lead to 10.But was the call correct? Or did Vernon simply misfire on an attempt to recover the fumble? You be the judge: [si-nfl-player id="23c590ea252b451581f6bab769af05f6"] Promoted Stories Comments

But, beyond that, can't we give Matt Weiner the benefit of the doubt in assuming that this was a deliberate choice with no malicious intent?
Malicious intent -- or even conscious intent -- doesn't have to come into play at all, though. A creator can be unintentionally ethnocentric. It's human nature to think in terms of your own group, whatever group that may be -- and thus it is easy to find yourself, if you are white, only writing about white people, completely without meaning to.
Critiques of something lacking in diversity is not the same thing as an accusation of malicious intent. The issue is not whether or not the creator is truly racist in his heart; the issue is whether or not the show ought to have more black people.
Democratic socialism is the hope of human freedom.

Johnson (The Irish Heritage Cookbook) returns once more to her roots and food heritage, this time presenting a volume that showcases the best of the new Irish cuisine and chefs. Based on many time-honored dishes and ingredients, recipes have been updated for the modern palate and more health-conscious diet without losing any of the wonderful flavor of the traditional elements. From the historic mainstay, the potato, used with rosemary and sea salt in the simple yet tasty Accordion Potatoes, and the more time-consuming Blue Cheese Potato Cake with its Eastern Europe influence to the robust Braised Lamb Shanks with Roasted Garden Vegetables, the recipes displays the best foods Ireland has to offer. Traditional dishes include versions of Boxty, the old favorite of both Irish and English alike, Sticky Toffee Pudding, and Black Pudding. Interspersed are wonderful full-color photos that demonstrate the finished dishes, encompass Ireland's green fields and rugged scenery and illustrate the anecdotes and explanations that round out the book. Among these are fascinating insights into Irish Cheese and Wine, Irish Stout and the Kinsale International Gourmet Festival-all of which wonderfully add color and background to this beautifully designed book.

It's time to deploy this special weapon on climate change

Information and communications technology (ICT) solutions are transforming the way we do business, run our cities, spend our leisure time, access information and keep in touch with friends and family -- but they also play an increasingly pivotal role in addressing climate change and building more resilient communities.Read More »

In today's world we are confronted with major challenges: Climate change, economic crisis, nature preservation are some amongst the ones that we have to deal with.

Urban metropolitan regions are growing at the unprecedented rate of 1 million people every week; cities do matter more than ever.

Remember Me
Jam Cruise 8 :: 01.03.10 - 01.08.10
Ft. Lauderdale, FL – Ocho Rios, Jamaica – Georgetown, Grand Cayman Island
While sometimes seen as an elitist fest because of the price tag, what I found was the vast majority of people had obtained passage through hard work, talent and scrimping and saving. Yes, it is considerably more than the average camping fest but one has a cabin, shower, 24-hour food and drink, excursions to Jamaica and the Grand Cayman Island, and a host of amenities that constitute real luxury for the average festivarian. And there's something to be said for being patient and working towards a really big event like this, particularly in a culture of near-instant gratification of most appetites. Sitting in a hot tub watching Luther Dickinson lock horns with Robert Randolph during The Word's blistering opening night set, I swiftly realized that this was unlike any other experience I'd ever had. To then wander indoors - barefoot, smiling and steaming - to find Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes tearing it up like a miniature gritty soul-rock revue in the Zebra Bar – think a pimp's idea of "classy" done up in mirrors and garish zebra print – and I soon discovered that there were going to be a lot of temptations to not sleep over the next week. The atmosphere is charged, to say the least, and there's as much as one can stand – and then some – on offer almost any hour of the day.
And there's the music. Perhaps it's the herd mentality and general myopia of most music press, but this might be the most talented yet overlooked collection of musicians on the planet. This thought occurred to me repeatedly throughout the week as I watched players engage with a staggering number of styles and genres, most of them seemingly ready at a moment's notice to wing it and see where they might go with their compatriots. In terms of pure chops, musical smarts and live energy, it'd be tough to beat the assemblage on Jam Cruise 8, and even if most aren't household names that takes nothing away from their immense talent and infectious, free spirited spark.
"The beauty of this thing is we're all sequestered in this place," said saxophone marvel Jeff Coffin, an artist-at-large this year, who proved a real musical colossus with a wicked imagination and the dexterity and facility to pull off anything that came to mind, as he popped up with seemingly everyone at one point or another. "There's so many chances to get outside of your comfort zones."
Coffin's observation hits the nail on the head: Jam Cruise is a chance to get outside one's comfort zone and taste and feel the unfolding moment in a tangible way. If nothing else, this trip has reaffirmed that the jam scene continues to thrive where it counts most – the music.

Sail Away
The "Sail Away Party" was truly unifying, a centralized gathering that reminded us we were in this thing together. It made me wish more small festivals would hold something similar to create a general sense of togetherness, and the same collective vibe cropped up at each of the two subsequent Sail Away sets as we left Ocho Rios and Georgetown.
On Wednesday, JJ Grey & Mofro took us out of the Grand Cayman Island with a rockin', honestly soulful performance that showed off as tight and interesting a bunch as Grey has ever gathered around him. Otis Redding would have loved JJ and his songs redolent of Southern culture, family and an aching worldview with enough heart to weep for fallen trees and lost wilderness. Four days in, some of us, myself included, were feeling a little homesick – as sailors will – and Mofro's set hit our guts like amazing home cooking. "Is this a big party?" asked Grey. "We been going every night but we still got a ways to go. If this is a big party then everybody dance!" And we did – hard – and we chuckled at his impression and translation of Yellowman and got suitably wistful singing about life on the wrong side of the tracks. Like JBB and Shorty (and many other artists on the cruise), Mofro isn't an imitator but a vibrant evolution of the sound of their ancestors. I have no problem imaging Ray Charles and the cream of '60s/70s Muscle Shoals studio killers absolutely loving what this band is laying down today.
First Night
Dark Star Orchestra's nighttime pool deck set made it clear that DSO has as much a claim on the Grateful Dead legacy at this point as any of the surviving members of the Dead. With fans' hearts and an under-appreciated level of technical skill, DSO reconnects with the source vibe of Dead music, that thing that makes us listen to countless bootlegs of every era, that thing that made us fall for this strange American music in the first place, particularly when they do original setlists, as they did both performances on Jam Cruise. "The Music Never Stopped" kicked this set off and seemed a purposeful anthem for this cruise. Swaying in the inky blackness of open water, cell phones dying off and the mainland a fast fading memory, Dark Star wove music that knitted us together and made one glad to be part of this adventure – not unlike when Garcia was still leading the Dead and made many of us feel we'd run away to some fantastical circus. Any doubts about new lead guitarist-singer Jeff Mattson (i.e. DSO's new "Jerry") were erased by a breathtaking "Eyes of the World" that rivaled the arguably definitive version on the So Many Roads box set. Overflowing with beauty and common man's spirituality, "Eyes" made one glad to be nowhere else at that moment, and Mattson continually proved a real prize in his new role, bringing all his years in The Zen Tricksters to bear and then upping the ante a bit more. Though heresy to many John Kadlecik purists, I personally dug Mattson more in DSO and suspect he's only gonna prove a better and better fit as time goes by.
Another surprise to many Jam Cruisers was Bay Area faves The Mother Hips, who hypnotized many new listeners with their sinewy, muscular rockin', stopping folks in their tracks in the Zebra Bar (and again Tuesday in the Teatro) as they sang, "This is the sound/ Let it bring you down." One of the few truly rock 'n' roll acts this year – if there's one quibble with the programming it's maybe a hunger for just a little more hard-toned rock music amongst the many funk/soul/jam ensembles – the Hips offered a welcome spot of danger and sex onstage. Loose but never limp, the quartet played a solid cross-section of their catalog with an emphasis on recent Pacific Dust material as they worked on their sea legs. This was an ongoing challenge for the musicians, especially during a few turbulent, white water splashing nights, and all of them deserve an extra measure of respect and appreciation for working through wobbly tummies and jelly legs to keep the music flowing.
At Sea
Monday's offerings began around noon with Vote-To-The-Boat winners the Ryan Montbleau Band on the pool deck easing into the day with violin and textural keys massaging Montbleau's warm voice and radio-friendly pop-singer-songwriter fare. With tunes about breakfast and populist lyrics like, "I've never broken a bone in my life/ Let alone a heart or hip replaced," these guys were a pleasant if conventional way to wake up.
Back on deck at the Solar Stage, Zach Deputy made me not hate acoustic guitar based, loop-driven music – it's really all getting a bit cliché, eh? Deputy, a regular pinch-hitter in the Jam Room, oozed charm and reminded one very strongly of prime Bill Withers, both in his singing style and fluid picking. A big man with a sunshine sound, Deputy was a nifty discovery for me and many others.
Toubab Krewe played the first of two stunning, original sets on Monday. They've refined and tightened up their already unique sound. There are blurrier lines between the genre blending now, resulting in the sense one was witnessing something new and powerful being born, Africa and America in a bold conversation that takes one into ancestral streams too strong to be ignored. You can dance to it, too, especially when Ivan Neville hops up to get a piece of it, fighting off the buffeting winds to find his own place inside Toubab's world.
Two one-off performances also stood out on Monday, namely the heavy-rock-meets-prog-jazz of OHMphrey - which seemed to scare the more delicate flowers off the pool deck but delighted strange, thick noise loving weirdos like myself, totally living up to their introduction, which claimed, "It's like a combination of Bitches Brew and metal. They will melt your face." While most of the band jumped off at Jamaica, keyboardist extraordinaire Joel Cummins stuck around and added intuitive magic to a number of sets, including an especially hot Everyone Orchestra gathering on Thursday. The other Monday standout was The Motet Plays Talking Heads barnburner, with Deep Banana Blackout shredder Fuzz, two boffo female singers and Kyle Hollingsworth (keys, vocals) creating a loving, sort-of-giddy salute to the Heads and really lighting up the packed crowd. While perhaps over-praised in their retirement, the Talking Heads are a touchstone, especially for younger fans introduced to them by Phish's fabled Halloween performance of Remain In Light, and the high feeling and sense of well being permeating the pool area during this set was hard to match the rest of the voyage. A genuine homage, The Motet-plus set did the job it set out to do and skirted being a simple recreation by gently stretching the songs and injecting a lil' jamminess the Heads would likely never abide.
Thursday's day at sea culminated in Mike Dillon's Go-Go Jungle in the Zebra Bar, which was a delirious period to place on the music for my first Jam Cruise. As usual, I wanted to illustrate Fleischer style black and white cartoons full of anthropomorphic objects and wise talking animals set to the mayhem unleashed by Mike D. and his cohorts, who brought some much needed agro-energy into our collective bloodstream. The slipstream of this music is breakneck and asks a fair amount of listeners, but go with it enthusiastically and there's not much more exciting or rewarding out there. This is the kind of band, augmented by omnipresent saxophonics expert Skerik and others, that could nail The Dead Kennedys' "Too Drunk To Fuck" and then seamlessly ease into Ellington's "Caravan" and out into hip hop reminiscent of primo Schooly D. That they make such disparate elements swing mightily is a greater achievement still. I relish any session with such delightfully misbehaved musicians, and this particularly gnarly-sweet shindig left me with a head full of fucked-up dreams and a smile that made my jaw hurt.
All Funked Up
And the whole thing felt like one long family affair with most of the players sitting in with their peers and welcoming them into their own sets. However, one of the glues that held Jam Cruise together was keyboard wizard Robert Walter, who shined brightly every single time he touched a B-3 or Rhodes, and he may have played with more people than anyone else on this cruise. He also led the Fantastic 4 on Wednesday, which may have been the crispest, nastiest funk display I heard. Joined by the freaking crushing guitar attack of Eric Krasno, a vaguely possessed George Porter Jr. and brutally tight drummer Adam Deitch, the Fantastic 4 just killed it again and again and again. A couple quality guest turns from Nigel Hall, including a buzz-inducing vocal turn through Stevie Wonder's "Love Having You Around," confirmed that Hall is a major talent, both as an original, appealing keyboardist and strong, engaging singer. I leave the boat with Nigel Hall on my shortlist of dudes to keep a VERY close eye on in the future. The guy is a total pro, even in major party mode, and likely to kick out some of the most engaging soul, funk and jazz we're gonna hear in the near future.
The primary competitors for "funkiest times on the boat" were Krasno's set with Chapter 2, which includes Hall, and the Ivan Neville driven Dragon Smoke throwdown in the Zebra, which pleasantly slowed down for a sultry version of War's "Slippin' Into Darkness" with War's original harmonica champ Lee Oskar, another artist-at-large this year. It's probably a matter of apples and oranges for funk enthusiasts, and I chose to eat the full fruit basket and didn't regret the decision one little bit!
Zappa Lives
Pretty Lights
As fine as Dark Star Orchestra's deck set had been, it was the Teatro set on Wednesday that brought me back to the feeling I had seeing the Grateful Dead for the first time in 1984 at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. And though awash in a warm, familiar and very satisfying feeling, I felt a pull to head up top and see what all the buzz was about with Pretty Lights. I'll say this: The kid and his sleek, hard-knock drummer bring it. His style is heavily informed by straight-up Studio 54 late '70s disco, with string splashes and orchestral sweeps pushing a knack for comforting, crowd stirring samples ("After Midnight," "Midnight Rider"). He's got the balls to bust out Lonely Island's "I'm On A Boat" AND chase it with the unctuous keyboard intro to Europe's "The Final Countdown." He's shameless and fiercely dedicated to stirring up a hands-in-the-air frenzy, which he surely generated by the pool. Pretty Lights is easy to like, and has a wider range of flavors – including bits that reminded me of Kraftwerk's robot rock – than many contemporaries. Not hard to see why this act is blowing up.
Other Jam Cruise 8 MVPs
-Sexual Chocolate, the Coming To America inspired cruise ship alter-ego to Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, particularly for their utterly sincere, flute dappled reading of Christopher Cross' "Sailing." Extra points for KDTU's pool deck set for the best version of "Elephants" they've ever played, helped along by ferocious guest turns by Skerik, Jeff Coffin, Robert Walter and Mike Dillon, amongst others.
-Steve Kimock Crazy Engine for creating a psychedelic version of instrumental yacht rock and prompting Melvin Seals into some of the most wiggling, turned on playing we've heard the big man do in some time. And Kimock was maybe the most relaxed and copacetic I've ever seen him be. Neat!
-Brock Butler for his official and unofficial deck sets and whacked yet perfect instinct for cover tunes. Dude makes folks smile BIG!
-Everyone who dressed up for "Funk 'n' Formal" and "Superheroes and Villains" theme nights. While I plain clothes it, the attention to detail and wild creativity of those who suited up made the cruise a brighter, more fabulous place.
-Cloud 9 Adventures, the producers of Jam Cruise, for donating the instruments for a whole brass band to a village in Jamaica. That's putting one's ideals into substantive practice!
-DJ Logic for consistently crushing it in the disco and making everyone feel like our record collections are inferior to his.
-Every chummy, woozy set on the acrylic piano in the main lobby. Sing-alongs with virtuoso accompaniment and some of the prettiest music of the fest.
-Josh Phillips Trio for idyllic afternoon chilling folk-pop that evoked fab ancestors like Paul Simon and the Everly Brothers. Solid harmonies are always to be celebrated.
-The Jam Room nights that Skerik and Ivan Neville hosted. Lord above, the range of sounds and fearless thrust of the WIDE FUCKING OPEN playing by all was staggering. Never seen anything quite like either night, and both nights were strikingly different from one another. Two master class musicians at the helm and so bloody much to work with coming on and off the stage for hours upon hours.
-JC organizer Annabel Lukins for her ceaselessly upbeat attitude and for keeping the cosmic tumblers of this great enterprise moving smoothly. Girl, you are a miracle and a half.
A Revelation
These shape-shifting men and women reveal the fluidity and basic cohesion of MUSIC, the archetypal thing stripped of adjectives and qualifiers. These musicians extend the line begun by Louis Armstrong, Jimmy Rodgers, The Beatles and countless other heavy-hitters. It's not to say one era is better than another, but the jam scene, as represented on Jam Cruise 8, is maybe the most wide-open bunch to come down the pike, able to meld field hollers with Fela, Bill Monroe with boogie woogie. They invite us to investigate and explore the whole spectrum of music, honoring the past by not making an artifact of it, and in turn creating music that will grab and inspire future generations.
It was a gift to watch them work for five days, and the feeling they stirred in me, combined with the overwhelming good will and kindness of most Jam Cruisers, is something I vowed to take home with me as I stepped off the ship last Friday. While the temptation is to lament the ending of this journey, I'd encourage anyone who was there to strive to bring some of the Jam Cruise world/vibe into daily life - be a touch more patient, a bit more ready to give away what you have, and get out there to your local clubs and see all of these hard working musicians when they come to town. No one is getting rich doing this kind of music, and the community that breathed and rollicked on the MSC Poesia is exactly who these musicians need to survive. The benefit is not only the positive feeling of helping great talents make a living at their craft but an almost lock-certain guarantee that these players will deliver grand music night after night wherever they roam.
Jam Cruise 9 Wish List
2. Poor Man's Whiskey performing Dark Side of the Moonshine on the pool deck. Like this year's Talking Heads set, I think folks would lose their widdle minds with PMW dressed in Wizard of Oz costumes and lasers firing overhead under a star filled sky. Plus the PMW boys would be extra tasty sauce for the Jam Room and other sit-ins.
3. Craig Finn - Artist At Large. The Hold Steady frontman would be a cool x-factor that'd bring some rough rock energy to the proceedings, as well as lending his earthy, dark tinged personality to the trip.
4. Nate Wilson Group. They've already produced a bong hit masterpiece, and are one of the best hard rock units going today. They jam but with teeth, and the former Assembly of Dust keyboardist-singer would be a welcome addition to the general pool of musicianship onboard, not to mention under-valued, supremely heady guitarist Adam Terrell.
5. I'm on the boat sharing this incredible, life-affirming experience again!

Thanx Jim,
point taken, & another thing these Boston seeds I was given they do not say if they are Perennial, which I would prefer instead of plant every year.
So I wonder what should I do end of summer or next year, do I moan them down or what happens? ......nick
for checking if something is annual or perennial pfaf is a good place to look, followed by wiki of course, the trouble with wiki is every page is formatted slightly differently so finding the right bit of info quickly isn't so easy. I have pfaf store as a search engine.
For example
By the way, a lot of seed suppliers only give very general advice, if any on how to sow your seed so I check with pfaf first to find out if the seed needs special treatment. Again, another example of why you can't always leave it to nature. sorry, take Thrift, Ameria maritima, a lovely plant, and fairly common on the coast. I've always had some so never bothered trying to grow it from seed until I moved here and wanting a clean slate wanted to collect local seed. It didn't grow. I checked on pfaf, and after soaking the seeds got hundreds come up. Saves you wasting seed. I just did the same thing with hounds tongue. Sowed it without thinking. Realised what I'd done after watering in the seeds. I soaked the next batch and they all came up in just over a week. First lot still not come up.
… Having little else to do I get anxious about all these things so I better leave it to nature that does it best. .........nick
Having little else to do I get anxious about all these things so I better leave it to nature that does it best. .........nick
You might need to keep an eye on the watering Nick, however I'm sure it will be fine but a little tongue in cheek, if you leave it to nature you'll have oak woodland. There's nothing natural about a meadow. Anyway, watch to make sure it doesn't dry out and it will be fine, it's not so late.
I type malaprops and Freudian slips too, and if someone is talking near me I'll type what they're saying. I'm easily distracted.
Most annuals won't come again unless you dig over the soil. Corn poppies in particular would not grow without the ground being cleared first. In their native range that's done by summer drought. Annuals are hard work but beautiful and I have only got a couple of poppies this year where I've dug over for one reason or another. I did tried over seeding with a top dressing after cutting the grass as short as possible, though it appeared to be working the grass came through too quickly and swamped out the seedlings. Ground is cleared naturally by poaching by animals, horse, dear, wild bore
Remember wild flowers which are agricultural 'weeds' have evolved to grow up close and personal and support each other. I seem to remember though that yours are grown in partial shade so that may contribute a tad but I wouldn't worry, obviously if you want to stake them it's your choice as it's your garden but I leave wildflowers to their own devices and if they die then so be it, they weren't fit for purpose.
you wan't have to endeavour too hard it's very easy but very shallow rooted so easy to pull up if you think it's getting out of hand. It adds an extra note to a salad chopped up, should you be in need of something extra with your lettuce.
Over hanging from next door and hiding in the privet hedge made up of native and Asian privet. Fingers crossed.

We had a wonderful stay at the house. Watching the sunrise over the canyon every morning was very special. Everything was clean and well configured for our stay. Would definitely stay again!
We LOVED Chad's Topanga Cabin and didn't want to leave. The cabin was immaculate, really tastefully designed, has a super-comfortable bed, an awesome bathroom and kitchen, and the most amazing deck and view of some of the canyon's mountains! We slept with the sliding doors open so we could enjoy all the fresh cool mountain air all night. The hosts were great -- very responsive, easygoing and friendly. We felt so comfortable right away. We would honestly recommend this stay to anyone.
Chad was the best & so was his place. I slept 1000 hours in that tree bed. He knew I was exhausted from a month of travel and more than met all my grumpy, incompetent needs. The neighborhood is pretty much the best you can get-- a perfect mix of quiet and active.
Chad`s apartement is great. Very comfortable, clean and has everything you need. The location and the building are great too. Williamsburg has very good restaurants, cafes, bars and nice little shops. We enjoyed walking across the bridge to Chinatown or taking the subway into Manhatten. Chad was a supernice and pleasant host. Thank you very much again Chad!
Chad's apartment is really comfortable and a totally novel experience. A fabulous, fully equipped kitchen, and a really relaxing sitting area. The pictures are a real representation of the space. It's perfectly located to Bedford Ave, and close to the subway into Manhattan. Local restaurants and bars were of a high standard. We enjoyed Brooklyn and will certainly be returning to the neighbourhood. Oh... and my boyfriend proposed to me... and I said YES!
Staying at Chad's loft was fun: it's a creative, imaginatively designed space; the kitchen is well equipped; we were extremely comfortable; the roof has killer views of New York City; and Chad was responsive, welcoming and enthusiastic about making our stay a good one.
Chad is cool and available to answer at all our questions for organisation ! The apartment is amazing, very confortable and arranged with pure style ! The view from the roof top is amazing. Beautiful place and certainly one of the best location in williamsburg. Higly recommended !
We had a blast on our BK/Manhattan trip...and staying at Chad's place is the icing on the cake. The loft is only a few minutes walk from the subway, an easy ride into lower Manhattan. But dont waste your time in touristy areas when there is so much of Brooklyn to explore right at your doorstep! We enjoyed all of Chad's restaurant recommendations, and always had a great time coming back to the spacious loft to hang out at the end of the day. Chad is super great and easy to coordinate with, and a thoughtful host providing everything you need to feel at home! Don't even hesitate to book, you will love it!
Chad's pad wasn't just a stylish, beautiful loft apartment; it is also a fantastic way to experience true New York living in the best way possible. It is so full of character and personality, it is lovely to stay somewhere where so much love and attention has been poured into its making. Chad had prepared the place so well, it was clean, the beds were comfortable, and he was so generous in stocking the fridge with drinks. He helped with tips and gave fantastic recommendations. I can't recommend staying at Chad's enough.
Chad's apartment is amazing! It looks identical to the photos and is incredibly quiet, and the views from the roof terrace at night are spectacular. It's 5 minutes away from the subway and close to loads of great restaurants and bars (Caracas Arepa Bar is awesome). Chad couldn't have been more helpful or chilled out, and was fine with us arriving early and leaving late. I don't think I can think of anything that I would change!
Reviews From Hosts
Chad was easy to communicate with, and seemed to take good care of our home.
We are happy to report that Chad Hogan and his 9 friends, here to celebrate his Birthday in Sierra Style, left the cabin in perfect order. Chad's review of his stay was GLOWING! He said our cabin was "amazing!" (plus a lot more great adjectives) We hope he and his friends can return soon, alllll the way from New York City. In their three and a half days here they included short trips to both Yosemite National Park and Kings Canyon National Park! The Sierra Range of Light, as John Muir called it, is beyond awesome!! Sue
Chad is a real adventurer! He executed a last minute trip over the weekend to "Sandity" even with "technical difficulties" with grace and precision. Obviously a skilled and well traveled explorer. We appreciated his instant communications and precise language skills. Not to mention the vitamin water he gifted us (free plug). It was a pleasure.
Chad and his friends were top notch guest.

Chad and I have been friends for many years! He is a great friend and just an overall creative, energetic and positive person! His apartment is one of the coolest I've seen - he really did put his own style and artistic touch into it. He is an adventurer at heart and has a caring spirit. I'm sure he is a fantastic host and guest!
Chad is an awesome friend I have know him for well over 10 years and a great traveler, he would never steer you in the wrong direction and is a pleasure to deal with.
Chad is awesome. Apart from being a really good friend of mine, he is a great person. Very trustworthy and professional. He knows NYC on the back of his hand and is a great airbnb community member!
chad and i were colleagues first and then became fast friends and have been very close for over five years. during that time we have travelled across the country together and have been on many an adventure together. chad is my favorite travel companion because he is an explorer, he is fun, always looks out for his friends and he just knows how to get things done on the road. if i were to chose a partner for "the amazing race", it would be chad (and that's saying a lot because i'm in it to win it). he is respectful of all things and if you ever need a tent pitched in the dark, a large fire made with little to no resources or an amazing breakfast burrito whipped up, chad is your man. enough said?!
Chad is a gracious host and guest. He is an organized planner and spot on with details!
Chad lives and breathes airbnb! Whether he's in NYC exploring new areas, or traveling/camping somewhere else in the world he is all about two things-new experiences and opportunities. His apt is amazing! perfect spot with a dope setup. Check Mr H out!

... you! Now you have an idea if this is something you might be interested in, or at the very least, a place that you would like to visit based on what you saw and read. In any case, thanks. It was a labor of love for me (sometimes extremely tedious depending on the strength of the internet) and someday when I get the time, I will put together a nice coffee table book for Nick and myself.
Stay well.

Maybe this is what we should expect of furniture. The dishes and overall cleanliness though, should not be acceptable regardless of how pet friendly a property is.
The dishes were disgustingly dirty and even had dog hairs on them. The place came with a nice Bosch dishwasher, but apparently it went unused before ...

... we let the celebration begin with sing alongs (more like scream alongs). I can't remember what they were called as I could hardly understand the girl as she was screaming at the top of her lungs. The one song that I do remember was the Disney shuffle because it was like the hokey pokey with a Disney twist. The songs may not have been all that memorable but watching the 3 ladies of our family dance was definitely entertaining. Arms a swinging, ...

Anglo-Saxon architects were evidently less dramatic than their more vivacious Continental cousins, but this sobriety afforded the houses here an understated grace that you couldn't find elsewhere (as beautiful as the Spanish and French colonial towns I'd visited undoubtably were). Many buildings weren't painted, but their bare red bricks gave them the impression of being solid and enduring; the darkly painted shutters flanking their rectangular windows complemented ...

I take one in the morning everyday and it really helps with menopause symptoms. I haven't had a "cold sweat" sleeps since I started using it. Every now and then during the wk before my cycle I get headache related to the cycle and the harmonal imbalance that menopause causes. I just add another dose in the afternoon.
